The latest Jedd Gyorko MLB and fantasy baseball news

San Diego Padres 2B Jedd Gyorko is working on some flaws in his swing after having a disappointing 2014 season. "When you're hitting .100 or whatever, it's hard to be real confident," Gyorko said. "Getting that confidence back is the big thing."

Fantasy Tip: Throw out Gyorko's injury-riddled 2014 season. The foot injury likely played a big part in his struggles. He has plenty of power at the keystone and will have a better lineup around him. Look for Gyorko to rebound and be a great value pick late in drafts.

Updating a previous report, while San Diego Padres 2B Jedd Gyorko (hamstring) did not start Monday, Aug. 25, for a third straight game, he was able to participate in all pre-game activities and might return as soon as Tuesday, Aug. 26.

San Diego Padres 2B Jedd Gyorko hit a grand slam Saturday, Aug. 16, as a part of a five-RBI effort. He now has 17 RBIs in 18 games since coming of the disabled list.

Fantasy Tip: Gyorko struggled early in the year prior to going on the DL, but he has finally been performing like the breakout star he was supposed to be this season. If Gyrorko is still available in your league, pick him up and enjoy the late-season surge.
